I have some more ideas for some new gameplay in EVE, especially dedicated for Roleplayers in the game.

Specially crafted missions, given to noted Roleplayers, that involve all kinds of activities and have outcomes that may influence the story of the game.

These missions would vary in activities and would be given to roleplayers and their organizations via special official, or not so official agents from various factions (NPC actors from CCP). They would have various outcomes, depending on how well the capsuleers complete them. Some missions would be official, but most of them would require discretion.

The missions themselves should be similar in design to existing agent missions - involving a site in space, that may have structures, enemy ships, various environments, things to hack etc. But they should be really challenging, like anomic missions, or even more challenging - involving a fleet of dedicated pilots, that should fill in specific roles in fleet or defeat a greater force of enemies, pick up items while under fire, things like that and anything in between. Of course they should not always be combat missions. Some may require exploration, stealth and reconnaissance, or maybe hauling some cargo through dangerous territory.

After EVE's recent expansions I see some nice improvements in PVE content, namely with the neat Agency interface, the Forward Operating Bases and the Resource Wars sites. It is a nice addition that, I dare to say, is laying the foundation for a more meaningful and interesting gameplay.

What I am gonna write down now are some ideas that have been hovering and growing in me for a while.

We need some refreshment in regards of PVE content. More missions and more things to explore. It is clear that our devs are busy with other things these days, so most of the ideas I am gonna write here are long term ones.

I've been thinking over these things for quite some time now. The sense
of "wrongness" that I have been having over the last few years is
notable, however I do feel that there are plenty of people out there
that are concerned about our society, and are doing their best to help.
There is hope and things are changing for the good, thanks God.

If
we are to build our better world today, we need to know the reasons
behind our struggles, we need to define the things that challenge us,
and then we need to come together, as a community, and do our best to
solve the puzzle.

Just recently I stumbled upon a very nice
video, called "Sacred Economics with Charles Eisenstein - A Short Film",
in which the author explains the hurdles that many of us face, and the
wrong things about our system, as well as the way we can solve many of
these problems and have a meaningful life. Just watch it here, it is
beautifully explained.

I am Veskin Sentinel, capsuleer and a graduate of the Caille University. Back there I spent my time working on various disciplines and developing prototype capsuleer and clone trooper technology, which is what I am still doing present time. I am also developing my artistic skills, since Art is my greatest passion.

You can browse this GalNet Blog if you want to check out my designs and projects.

I was away due to Real Life. I may describe the things me and my family went through in a future post. Will see.

Today I want to write some ideas regarding Avatar Gameplay in EVE. You know, the pretty thing that CCP started to implement several years ago and then put to a halt due to some serious stir in the cluster, people were angry and so on, and so on, you know the story. Well, the events back then, actually determined the direction of EVE development for years to come. And since our devs are very serious about not making the same mistake again, it looks like we’re gonna wait a long time before we see something as cool as Avatar Gameplay in EVE… Or so it seems... That makes me sad.

I found a small forum post from years ago, that describes some ideas and a prototype our devs have been working on. It is from 2012, so don’t get too excited, their priorities have changed now, but it is worth a read, just to see what has been going on back then and to see the players response to it.

I was sitting in my Captain's Quarters, looking at the door, walking around in the small place with no windows. Years of waiting. Well... maybe I should focus my activities elsewhere in the game. But all the cool Roleplay options that we would have with Avatar Gameplay, the level of immersion that we would have as players… I think it is something well worth the developers time. And I do feel that our awesome Community should support the idea of Avatar Gameplay and be passionate about it, just as passionate as it is with the rest of the game. Yes, it will be different, yes some of us don’t like dramatic changes, but it is really a completely natural step in EVE’s evolution. And when it is implemented, it will fit with the rest of the game perfectly.

But when?

I have an idea. Let’s look at Project Nova, which is currently a working title for a project in development. The FPS part of EVE. Well, I think it is safe to say that the shooter experience in New Eden is totally Avatar Gameplay. Sooo, it would be nice to implement the Incarna features and improve them, adding them to Project Nova! Yes! I mean, this is completely natural - initially Nova will be a separate game, so all the spaceship experience will have the developers attention, just as it has it now, while Nova devs will be busy with the shooter.

In my previous post I contributed to the monthly EVE Blog Banter which was about Project Nova and what exactly do we need to make it successful. I will use this space for a continuing iteration on what I already wrote, because I am really excited for this. I love the idea of an FPS set in the EVE universe and will go above and beyond to deliver some good ideas that may help make it a glorious game.

Welcome to the continuing monthly EVE Blog Banters and our 75th edition! For more details about what the blog banters are please visit the Blog Banter page.

At Fanfest CCP showcased their current iteration of the FPS set in the Eve Universe. Following on from DUST514 and Project Legion, Project Nova is shaping up to be a solid FPS with CCP taking the decision to get the game mechanics right first. However with so many FPS out there what will Nova need in order to stand out from a very large crowd and be successful? What are the opportunities and perhaps more importantly, the dangers for CCP? How can Nova compete against CoD, Battlefront and Titanfall to name a few?

Hello, folks!

Just a few weeks ago, at the EVE Fanfest 2016, there was an announcement about Project Nova - the FPS experience set in the EVE universe. We had a sneak peek on how it looks at this particular point of development and we had some really encouraging words from our devs, who are hard at work to make this project a full fledged game.

Actually our devs have made their claim long ago when they stated that: long term they aim to provide an ultimate Sci-Fi experience, one which extends from the ground all the way up into space and on every vehicle in between. That is pretty much enough for me and I have no doubts that the experiences that we share in the world of EVE will evolve further with all this new gameplay added. We are getting there. And we will get there sooner if we just keep contributing to this the best way we can. We are in this together.

And just in the spirit of contribution I want to share some of my ideas, in no particular order, answering the question: What Does Project Nova Need to be Successful?
